AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question.
I note that this question was asked on 16 October, and at
that time the answer was that providing the information in the time required
was not possible and I requested that the member place the question on notice.
I do not know whether the member is aware of just how many services there are
across the North Metropolitan Area Health Service; it would have had to access
many different sites and obtain information around staff numbers over the past
six months and what positions they held at the time of their departure. That is
not something that can be made readily available in a turnaround of a couple of
hours. Although I know the member asked the question on 16 October, I have not
followed it up since then and asked for the service to provide that
information, so the service is still working on the answer it gave me on 16
October, which is: could the member please put the question on notice.
